Title:	Count data of air-breathing fauna from visual transect surveys including water temperature, time, sea and weather conditions in Shark Bay Marine Park, Western Australia from February 2008 to July 2014

Abstract:	This dataset provides information on the relative abundances of air breathing fauna (dugongs, dolphins, sea snakes, marine birds, and sea turtles) in the study area of the Eastern Gulf of Shark Bay, Western Australia. The dataset comprises transects that quantify animal abundances in three microhabitats (shallow seagrass banks, seagrass bank edges, and deep sandy channels). These microhabitats vary in their food supply as well as their potential to facilitate or inhibit detection and escape from predators, mainly the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier). As a result these data have been used to examine risk-specific habitat use behaviors of these fauna, in addition to general abundance estimates.

Abstract:

We are investigating how the roles of apex predators (in this case, tiger sharks) can interact with large-scale climactic disturbances to influence the structure, function, and processes of seagrass ecosystems. This project investigates multiple questions related to this interaction, from primary produce recovery to apex predator population dynamics, including mutliple investigations into the effects of a large scale seagrass decline on tiger shark prey abundance, community composition, and behavior.

Abstract:

We are investigating how apex predators (in this case, tiger sharks) can influence risk sensitive habitat use decisions of their prey in resoponse to a major resource decline. Prey often have to make choices between profitable yet dangerous foraging habitats, or safe yet impoverished habitats. These choices are known as food-for-safety trade offs. In light of a major seagrass disturbance in 2011, the nature of these food for safety trade offs has likely changed, with implications for the ecosystem in general. This project investigates how food for safety trade offs, as well as general populations of tiger shark prey, have changed.
